Working on commercial sites near Appledore
Central London is about 50 miles from Appledore. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. Rainfall across the South East, Appledore included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.
Shops and cafés around stations like Appledore (Kent) station (to the east of Appledore) trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Coloured sealant in Appledore
A coloured bead has to perform like any other sealant. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, exactly as for a standard colour. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. If you’re dealing with old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges and colour changes after a rebrand or refit, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Appledore is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Work in smaller places such as Appledore tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We will want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
- A colour that never alters with age
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Natural stone and brick
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Office fit-out finishes
- Cladding panels
Surface by surface
Brick and masonry
Vertical movement joints run the full height of many brick walls. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in without affecting the joint’s performance.
Hotel interiors
Phased resealing lets rooms go back into use quickly. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Appledore
People notice sealant lines more than you might expect, particularly on high-end finishes. Resealing in a suitable colour is a modest cost against the finishes it sits beside, and the difference is obvious. Converted and older buildings near places like Appledore tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building around Appledore, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What we are called out for in Appledore
A coloured joint can fail like any other: it can crack, peel or harden with age and movement. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
A hotel such as The Swan Hotel (under half a mile east of Appledore) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions we are asked in Appledore
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Appledore?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Appledore too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. Send the specification or colour reference. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
